Domain Expert - Audit(CaseWare OnPoint)

To qualify you must use CaseWare OnPoint (PCR or Audit), CaseWare Working Papers, or comparable engagement software regularly as a working part of your job, with 3+ years of public accounting experience on compilation, review, or audit engagements.

CaseWare OnPoint knowledge we require

Core (required of all candidates)

• Knows how to choose and run the right engagement under SSARS: preparation vs. compilation vs. review, and what each requires and permits

• Knows how to evaluate independence, and when an impairment changes what report can be issued

• Knows how to perform and document review procedures: analytical procedures with real expectations and thresholds, and inquiry that actually resolves fluctuations

• Knows how to work the engagement file (trial balance mapping, adjusting entries, workpapers, checklists, sign-offs) and when a sign-off is not supported

• Knows how to draft and modify the accountant's report (going concern, GAAP departures, lack of independence, emphasis of matter)

Specialized depth (strong working knowledge in at least 2–3 of the following)

• Small-entity audits under AU-C (risk assessment, materiality, sampling)

• Financial statement preparation and disclosure checklists, including special-purpose frameworks (cash and tax basis)

• Engagement quality management (SQMS) and peer review readiness

• Not-for-profit, governmental, or employee benefit plan engagements

• Engagement letters, representation letters, and client communications

What you'll do

• Confirm that a workpaper, adjustment, or report conclusion is supported by the engagement file and the professional standards, not just completed

• Catch unsupported sign-offs, unresolved analytical fluctuations, misclassified adjustments, and changes outside the task's scope

• Judge completeness: are all required procedures and checklist steps for this engagement type actually done

• Distinguish "the checklist is ticked" from "the report can be issued"

• Verify that a request that should be refused (issuing a review report while independence is impaired, signing off without evidence) is refused rather than forced through

Requirements

• Regular use of CaseWare OnPoint, CaseWare Working Papers, or comparable engagement software in your current or recent role

• 3+ years of public accounting experience on compilation, review, or audit engagements, at senior level or above

• Working command of SSARS and AU-C; can spot an unsupported conclusion or the wrong report type on sight

• Active US CPA license strongly preferred

• Strong working knowledge in at least 2–3 specialized areas above

• Prior data annotation, labeling, or AI evaluation experience is a plus
